I’m running for Youngsville Chief of Police because this community helped shape who I am, and I want to give back through experienced, dedicated leadership. I attended Green T. Linden and Youngsville Middle, and my roots here make serving Youngsville deeply personal. Over my 32 years in law enforcement, including serving as a sheriff’s deputy and Louisiana State Police Sergeant, I learned that keeping people safe requires sound judgment, accountability, and trust. My service in the Army also shaped my commitment to discipline and putting others first. As a husband, father, veteran, and small business owner, I care about the future we are building for our families. Guided by my faith, I want to support our officers, listen to residents, and strengthen the relationship between our police department and the people it serves. Youngsville is home. I’m running to bring my experience and commitment to a community I love and help build a safer tomorrow.
